Tajine

It’s been foggy here, the kind that sets in for days. Although we got out a little it’s the kind of weather that hunkering down was invented for. My outing last night to Rite Aid produced my first pair of reading glasses, probably two years after I should really have bought some—in preparation for lots of reading. About time: I have a stack of books by the bed.

Today I made my first tajine, a North African stew with dried fruit (ours featured apricots, prunes, and mangoes, which we had to hand). Although we don’t own the beautiful earthenware pot which gives the dish its name, it turned out quite well. Served over couscous with harissa. The house is full of tangerines, a splash of color in our now monochrome world…

  1. I actually found a pretty good Moroccan harissa at our local upscale grocery store that would be perfect on your couscous. I love tajine … and make a lamb one usually, though I don’t have the right pot either!

  2. Would it be too much to ask for a recipe?

  4. Hmm good food..

    You’re so far away from where I am, but here too it has been foggy. Romantic and cold.
